@Thatsportsspice
Touching a match official in a non aggressive manner is a yellow card, in an aggressive manner is a red. Not about opinions, its laws of the game.
I don't think we'll see these kinds of numbers again
Let's take Dafydd Jenkins for Example
Aged 20, he has 12 caps
He'd need to play 10 internationals a year for another 16 years
Fitness, motivation, form, all factors
170 caps is phenomenal. Then 250+ for Ospreys. Bonkers.
Absolutely no idea why a talented young person would opt to ply their trade in a new country, at a brilliant stadium, a world class club, alongside some of the planet's best players, for great money.
Crazy.
Why did Henry Arundell, with the English rugby world at his feet, choose to move Racing 92, with an unfamiliar language and culture?
...Enter Stuart Lancaster โ

Holding the government to account is more important now than it has ever been in our lifetime. It is an essential right of all who live in a democratic society. If we stop, the trouble will really start.
BREAKING: Man Utd's flight to Newcastle has been cancelled โ
Due to the cold weather, Erik ten Hag's squad will now take a three-hour coach to St James' Park โ๏ธ
HUGE Credit to Wales, managing to put a squad together where 102.8% of players were born somewhere.
But England, squeezing those marginal gains, as you'd expect. 105.1% of players making up their 6 Nations squad this season ๐คฏ
Astonishing numbers.
I was just thinking for a moment, that Freddie Steward may end up becoming England's best ever full back.
Unfortunately for him, he was born on the same planet as Jason Robinson, so it's unlikely.
But bloody hell, he was made for International Rugby. Some Player.
Owen Farrell will turn his back on English rugby at the end of this season with the Saracens fly-half signing a two-season deal with Racing 92

Talk about Marcus Smith and Owen Farrell all you like...
Nothing either of them (or any other 10 on the planet) could do to stop that French pack in the first half.
Astonishing from Le Grand Hommes

Some of the best support, venue and sporting level I've ever experienced... And it's always like this!
Absolutely incredible.
- 1st
@Premier15s
game at Twickenham
- 1st Proper Big Game Double header
- 1st P15 game broadcast on BT Sport
- 10,000 in attendance
- Jess Breach recovered from a broken back and scored on her return
There are always things to work on, but are shirt sizes really the headline?
A lot [often tribal, mostly stupid] takes on the Farrell/Smith conundrum
Very few People talking about goal kicking
In Prem Rugby this season, Smith is at 95%, Farrell is at 75%
Form is temporary etc... But 75% off the tee will not win you test matches.
Thinking of my Old Man today
The first match he ever took me to was The Welsh Cup Final in 92
Swansea v Llanelli - Scarlets won, Whites lost. I fell in love & had my heart broken on the same day
I got to call one today. Unreal.
What a privilege.
Cheers Dad
Some night at the arms park.
Quins stole the show.
Brilliant to see a packed Arms Park, and even better to hear the roar.
Something beautifully nostalgic about seeing a pitch full of supporters post match too.
We live at the top of a steep hill and our flat is 3 flights up with no lift. Rosie would come home at all hours, often with a suitcase or a 10kg backpack. I have no idea how she did it!
Reading this, I'm relieved as much as anything! Absolute hero.
Hello world, please meet Maureen. Two days into this Paralympic adventure, my producer (and very good friend) Hannah asked me if I wanted to rent a mobility scooter for our time in Tokyo. Our days are long, the venues are massive and it is HOT. 1/6
It was my dear late Dad's birthday yesterday. I think about him every day.
'Dad would have loved this'
'I wish Dad could have seen this'
We watched hours of rugby together. He loved it. We loved it.
Yesterday, it was so lovely to be pitch side, smiling, freezing, remembering.
Red Card: Yes.
Why no HIA on Chandler Cunningham-South?
Sending players off isn't player welfare, actually looking after them is!
After direct contact to the head, at speed, by a 125kg man - Should be an automatic HIA, no?

This rank from Jones, isn't it.
For a man who is purported to be one of the last of the old school journos, an awful lot of his stuff reads like petulance filled clickbait.
I wonder if he'll be at The Stoop today.
@thepaulwilliams
Took the most carries in the pack, made the highest average yards per carry, made the most tackles, hit the 3rd most rucks, didn't concede any pens.
Got skinned 1 on 1 by a class winger after a great kick.
The Sunday Times Rugby Correspondent has tweeted extensively about Gloucester, Chiefs, Saints, Wasps & Worcester Warriors this weekend
1 Challenge Cup team, 2 Champions Cup teams & 2 that don't exist
Not a single character about Harlequins win in ๐ซ๐ท
Anyone have any idea why?
Farcical, as per.
Ealing Trailfinders putting resource into grassroots/acad/uni/women's game.
Doncaster Knights have hosted Red Roses Games and the pitch is brilliant. Add to that the fact there's no prem team in Yorkshire.
Not surprising. But very disappointing.

Rugby is ace. There's so much to keep up with, but every week the Prem, The Champ, Premier 15s (and of course, BUCS Super Rugby!) Deliver in spades.
Then on days like today, The 6 Nations pops up to remind you who the Daddy is! Superb.

Hear me out.
Sean Lynn should be recognised as one of the leading coaches in English Rugby.
Creates amazing environments where excellent players thrive - and has won at every level he's coached at. Consistently!
Well done, Lynnie, and huge congratulations to
@Glos_PuryWRFC
Considering Premiership Rugby is absolute crap/on it's knees/full of ordinary players [delete as appropriate]
Fair play to Harlequins and Northampton Saints this weekend.
I've watched bags of Munster and Glasgow Warriors this season. Good sides! Those are both great wins.
1 tweet isn't enough to explain how much fun we had tonight
Thank you to

for always making me feel so incredibly welcome & providing opportunities for us to enjoy ourselves

Lucky boy
Quite a lot of bed wetting about this advert.
Yes - Rugby is a game for a number of different body types, but if you don't tick AT LEAST one of the big, tall, fast or physical boxes, I don't think the PROFESSIONAL game is for you.
Earnest Post Alert. Sorry.
Some time around 2013, I met
@AlanMarch1981
He taught me all about Audio Description Commentary & I properly bought in
We packed a van and took sessions around the UK
It's taken him around the world. Today it took me to ITV & The 6 nations
Unreal
Farrell's goal kicking is going to cost England games.
Thankfully for him and England today, the opponents were Wales
Dark few years ahead for our beloved boys in red I fear.

Food for thought.
With today's application of the law:
Penalty try, yellow card, Quins probably in the playoffs, Bristol possibly missing out on Champions' Cup.
Olly Woodburn *Very* unlucky today.
Big night for DR
On Comms for Wales v Ireland in the u20s 6 nations.
Come and keep Richie Rees and I company in North Wales on s4c red button, iPlayer or the world feed.
What a life.
Commentary, like pretty much anything and everything is subjective
If a producer/director/channel/company wants to book you - they think you're good enough
Grab that opportunity with both hands
Don't worry that Lee Jarvis (or anyone for that matter) doesn't think you're ready
One last thing...
You should never ever accept a pundit / comms gig if you feel you are not at that level and it is above your ability. If you do and you get found out, you have nobody else to blame but yourself imo.
Know your limits until you hit your full potential ๐ฏ
Manu Vunipola around Archie White's head just before Danny Carr's try.
Billy Vunipola with a No Arms shot on Andre Esterhuizen.
Neither looked at.
Surprised.
The fact that Eddie Jones has a 73% winning record, despite appearing to have lost so many games almost on purpose, is absolutely astonishing ๐คฏ
A little bit of me thinks that every other country has got away with one this close to the World Cup.
Sometimes, cool things happen
I'm not very good at acknowledging them
Growing up watching Scrum V & now being one of the commentators is incredibly cool & I absolutely love it!
Congrats to

Well played, Tokyo. You've been magnificent.
